Description
- The present disclosure relates to a heat dissipating frame structure and a fabricating method thereof.
- Aspect of light emitting diode (LED) package structures, there already exists a frame type package in which high power light emitting diode dies are put into a base for being packaged, and the packaged high power light emitting diode is further welded onto a aluminum board for basic heat dissipation, and then a heat sink and the high power light emitting diode with the aluminum board are combined. Regarding such frame type package, light emitting diode dies are in advance packaged on a high power base, and the package is arranged to be contacted with the surface of a copper foil through conductive paste and then through a FR4 (epoxy resin fiberglass) aluminum board to dissipate heat by the combination of the conductive paste and the heat dissipation board.
- Here, the volume of such frame type package is typically small so that generally a 1˜3 W product is in advance packaged and then put to use in higher wattage products with the arrangement of the aluminum board. In the case of the light board of 7 watts and an aluminum extrusion cylinder of 50 mm*30 mm being used as the heat sink, it is discovered that obvious decline and dim brightness occurred on the light emitting diodes when the temperature of the heat sink is up to 70 degrees Celsius and thus the heat dissipation efficiency decreases.
- As to the technique for higher heat dissipation efficiency, in recent years a COB(Chip On Board) package different from the conventional frame type package has been developed, in which more than one LED dies are directly packaged on a aluminum board and then the aluminum board and a heat sink are combined for heat dissipation.
- As for such COB package, in the case of the light board of 7 watts and an aluminum extrusion cylinder of 50 mm*30 mm being used as the heat sink, the upper temperature limit is 75 degrees Celsius, but there is still room for improving the heat dissipation efficiency.
- The purpose of the present disclosure is to provide a heat dissipating frame structure and a fabricating method thereof for effectively and rapidly exporting the thermal energy generated from the working of heating elements such as high power light emitting diodes, so that the performance can be better, the life can be longer, the size can be smaller and thus the breadth of the applications can be enhanced and therefore the ease of use is increased.
- To achieve the object as described above, one aspect of the present disclosure is a heat dissipating frame structure comprising: a metal plate assembly, a part of which contacting with a heating element; and a plastic composition combined with the metal plate assembly to through the metal plate assembly receive the heat generated from the heating element.
- Accordingly, by the combination of the thermal conductivity of the metal plate assembly and the plastic composition, in addition to the excellent heat dissipation efficiency, the merits with respect to the appearances, weights, prices, volumes etc. acquired by using the plastic composition can be reflected. Further, other heat dissipation means can be additionally combined as appropriate.
- Further, according to the heat dissipating frame structure of one aspect of the present disclosure, the combination of the metal plate assembly and the plastic composition is accomplished by at least insert moulding.
- Accordingly, the metal plate assembly and the plastic composition can be closely combined so that the metal plate assembly and the plastic composition completely contact with each other as the heat therebetween is conducted without a medium; thus, the heat conduction can be quick, and the heat dissipation can have the best efficiency.
- In addition, according to the heat dissipating frame structure of one aspect of the present disclosure, the insert moulding is executed in a mould having a fixing means.
- Accordingly, the combination of the metal plate assembly and the plastic composition is accomplished in the mould having the fixing means so that for example deformations and displacements of the metal plate assembly, causing the inequality of the heat conduction and the decrease of the heat dissipation efficiency, caused by the excessive pressure during the insert moulding can be prevented. Further, other means such as a heat dissipation means for conducting the heat can be added in to the mould as appropriate.
- Moreover, according to the heat dissipating frame structure of one aspect of the present disclosure, the metal plate assembly includes a first metal plate partially contacting with the heating element and a second metal plate connecting with the heating element.
- Accordingly, the metal plate assembly is arranged to include at least two metal plates so that the positive and negative polarities can be separated to prevent short circuit, and the heating elements such as LED dies can be directly placed on the metal plate for heat conduction, and it can be further used directly as the plug of a external power supply; thus, various functions are achieved at the same time so that the breadth of the applications is increased. Further, the number of the heat sink can be changed as appropriate.
- Further, according to the heat dissipating frame structure of one aspect of the present disclosure, the first metal plate includes a part contacting with the heating element, a surrounding portion and a first electrode portion.
- Accordingly, various functions can be achieved by one metal plate so that the volume can be further reduced and the breadth of applying the heat dissipating frame structure can be increased significantly. Further, the first metal plate is not limited to include the part contacting with the heating element, the surrounding portion and the first electrode portion and can be formed to include other parts as appropriate.
- In addition, according to the heat dissipating frame structure of one aspect of the present disclosure, the surrounding portion of the first metal plate is formed by folding an elongated metal plate into which the two terminals in the long side direction overlap and the shape is circular viewing from the short side direction, and fixing the overlapped portion.
- Accordingly, the shape of the first metal plate becomes the shape with which the heat can be conducted uniformly; in addition, the overlapped portions are fixed so that the first metal plate is difficult to be affected by the excessive pressure during the insert moulding to avoid the deformation. Further, as long as the heat can be conducted uniformly, the shape and the fixing method can be changed as appropriate.
- Moreover, according to the heat dissipating frame structure of one aspect of the present disclosure, the second metal plate is L shaped and includes a second electrode portion and a part perpendicular to the second electrode portion and being connecting with the heating element, the in-plane direction of the part of the second metal plate connecting with the heating element being parallel to the in-plane direction of the part of the first metal plate contacting with the heating element, the second electrode portion of the second metal plate being surrounded by the surrounding portion of the first metal plate.
- Accordingly, the second metal plate can be for example served as the plug of the external power supply during the product application and at the same time assist in conducting the heat generated from the heating element rapidly to the plastic composition. Certainly, the shape of the second metal plate can be changed and various parts can be added as appropriated to provide more functions.

- Accordingly, other means can be combined with the fixing grooves or the fixing holes to further expand the functions. Further, the outer shape of the plastic composition can be designed as appropriate and is not limited to form the fixing grooves or the fixing holes.

FIG. 9 , themould 4 having the fixing means as illustrated inFIG. 10 is prepared in advance (step S1), then thefirst metal plate 21 and thesecond metal plate 22 manufactured as above are inserted and fixed into the mould 4 (step S2), and then theplastic composition 3 is added to execute insert moulding in the one illustrated inFIG. 10 (step S3) so as to form the heat dissipatingframe structure 1 as illustrated inFIG. 1 . - According to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, as illustrated in

first metal plate 21, the connecting holes H of the overlapped portions are inserted with rivets for fixation so that the fixation can be convenient and fast, and it is insusceptible to the deformations due to the excessive pressure during the insert moulding.
